Another overcast morning . Nice ride to Haire Drive.

To separate gender from sex or to define marriage as a union between two (or more) people of the same sex is not to expand the traditional definitions of these things; it is to abolish them in their entirety. And the most honest advocates of LGBTQ+ thought are very clear about this. Carl Trueman

Cold and overcast this morning, but no rain.

It is also clear that its drive to inclusion ironically involves significant elements of exclusion—for example, those who affirm the normative nature of heterosexuality and those feminists who consider the female body to be decisive for their identity. Carl Trueman

What nature has declared impossible—that two men or two women might conceive a child together—technology has made possible, and the sexual revolution has then made imperative. Carl Trueman

If gender is a construct, then so are all those categories based on it—heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. The world of psychological man is a world in which, to borrow Marx’s phrase, all that is solid is constantly in danger of melting into air—including our selves. Carl Trueman

Shorter ride today because of other commitments. Apparently I took a nice photo of the ground in front of some ponies.

The erotic/pornographic has triumphed in our culture to the point that it is precisely the advocacy of traditional sexual mores that has come to be regarded at best as ridiculous, at worst as downright immoral and oppressive.  Carl Trueman

Another beautiful morning. Swooped by a different magpie today. The joys of breeding season.

The pornification of culture inevitably involves the trivialization of sex. Carl Trueman
